(Al Jazeera Media Network) A mass shooting at Bondi Beach in the Australian city of Sydney has killed at least 15 people and wounded 40. The death toll includes two police officers and at least one child, officials say.
Police say one shooter, 50, was also killed at the scene, while another, his 24-year-old son, sustained “critical” injuries and remains in hospital.
Authorities have designated the shooting a “terrorist” incident, saying it was “designed to target Sydney’s Jewish community on the first day of Hanukkah.”
A video shows a man, identified as “hero” shop owner Ahmed al Ahmed, disarming one of the attackers.
